A History of Quality
Newly quarried Charente limestone is sourced from the Charente department of southwestern France. A major geological basin for over 165 million years, the stone from this area has been used in the construction of cities, castles, mausoleums and cathedrals throughout the region for centuries. Sections of the quarry are completely dedicated to this specific type of limestone, where blocks are cut horizontally and vertically before being transported to the factory for fabrication. The blocks are cut into both thick and thin slabs which are then finished in a variety of surface textures. Certain slabs are cut to size by expert stonemasons who carefully inspect every piece for its structural integrity, unique characteristics, suitability of use and quality.
